Casting Director Reveals the Depressing Way Hollywood Sees Women

While the piece goes out of its way to portray Jones as quietly brilliant and humble, it does print a semi-critical quote about how Hollywood producers see women:

“There’s still pushback, especially with women — when they’re not that attractive but they’re hilarious, it still doesn’t matter to many people. They don’t get it.” But didn’t a film like Bridesmaids help break down some of those barriers? “Moderately,” Jones says. “It mostly just helped those actresses. It’s still tough.”

Jones then says that she remedies this problem by bringing back people she likes for audition after audition until someone casts them. I would love to know which unconventionally attractive but funny women she has specifically done this for.
